Inspired by Reena’s Exploration Challenge #103 – Delightfully Disorienting Dance

I
strap in
to watch a
video of
fast-paced images,
extraordinary
demonstration of motion.
It makes me think this is such a

delightfully disorienting dance.

Except there is no discourse just confusion, boredom and lack of ideas. My thoughts refuse to percolate unless sparked by a superior being. I’m just a follower and I need a strong leader to show me the way forward.
